Low‐field MRI: An MR physics perspective

Understanding MRI: basic MR physics for physicians.

More frequently hospital clinicians are reviewing images from MR studies of their patients before seeking formal radiological opinion. This practice is driven by a multitude of factors, including an increased demand placed on hospital services, the wide availability of the picture archiving and communication system, time pressures for patient treatment (eg, in the management of acute stroke) an...

EJNMMI Physics - an editor's perspective

According to Wikipedia, an editorial is an ‘opinion piece written by the senior editorial staff ’ and supposed ‘to reflect the opinion of the periodical’. This editorial is then somewhat different, as it opens the floor to a new journal, which has not yet any periodicity. However, this new journal deserves an introduction, and an editorial ever more. EJNMMI Physics was launched in late 2013 at ...

Tau Physics: Theoretical Perspective

The leptonic decays of the τ lepton provide relevant tests on the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the gauge bosons. The hadronic τ decay modes constitute an ideal tool for studying low–energy effects of the strong interaction in very clean conditions. Accurate determinations of the QCD coupling and the strange quark mass have been obtained with τ decay ...

Particle Physics in Perspective

I review the development of particle physics in the past from a historical and methodological viewpoint. Particle physics has gone through certain characteristic periods in the course of discoveries and accumulation of knowledge, both experimental and theoretical. To analyze this situation, I draw on the theses of three stages and three modes, and illustrate the points with examples, up to the ...
